Ingredients. - Half a pound of flour. Salt. Two eggs. One pint of milk. Time required, about two hours and fifteen minutes.

To make a Boiled Batter Pudding:

1. Put a saucepan of warm water on the fire to boil.

2. Put half a pound of flour into a basin, and mix half a salt-spoonful of salt with it.

3. Break two eggs into the flour, and beat them well together.

4. Now add, by degrees, one pint of milk, stirring smoothly all the time, until the batter is well mixed.

5. Let the batter stand for one hour.

6. Take a pudding-basin and grease it inside with butter.

7. Stir the batter, and then pour it into the basin.

8. Dip a pudding-cloth in boiling water, wring it out, and flour it well.

9. Place the cloth over the batter, and tie it on securely with a piece of string, just below the rim of the basin. Pin or tie the four corners of the cloth over the top.

10. When the water in the saucepan is quite boiling, put in the pudding, and let it boil for one hour.

11. For serving, take the basin out of the saucepan, take off the cloth, and turn the pudding carefully out on a hot dish.
